Description of the problem	We have a safety issue with our 2006 hyundai azera limited. The front passenger airbag system that features an occupant classification system or ocs is not working. We have advised our dealership of the problem for almost a year and have been told the system works as designed. When my wife sits in the car's front seat (her weight is 137 pounds) with or without the engine on and buckles in, the dashboard airbag light below the speedometer stays lit and a middle console indicator says, "passenger airbag off." to make the system function properly we have had to place the transmission in park and turn off the engine. Once restarted, the two front passenger airbag indicator lights go off and the front airbag system works normally. The service manager at our hyundai dealership in huntsville, al said that the system is operating normally if the dashboard indicator lights reset after we restart the car. All previous diagnostic tests by the dealership have found zero errors in the system. On 14 june 2008, we started our car in our garage and both the dashboard and center console indicator lights remained on. We turned off our car's engine and restarted it 5 times to get the system to reset without success. My wife sat in the back seat for safety. The front airbag system would not reset after multiple stops during the day. We brought the car to our hyundai dealer on 16 june and service personnel are still diagnosing it. I called hyundai's recall center to see if our azera's front ocs airbag is similar to the 2006 to 2008 hyundai sonata ocs recall (#08v161000) and was told to contact my dealer. When i relayed this information to our hyundai dealership's service manager he said that hyundai had not informed him of any problem. This is a serious safety concern and if the 2 systems are similar then the sonata ocs recall should be extended to the azera model too.
